Wildlife & Habitat

Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge was established in part to protect Bald eagle nesting and winter roosting habitat. Its 15,000 acres of prairie and lakes attract raptors, migrating songbirds, wintering ducks and geese and provides habitat for a variety of mammals including bison, coyotes and deer.

Mammals

The Refuge’s combination of short and mixed-grass prairie, woodlands and diverse wetlands support a variety of mammals.
